Any of this ring true?

Hemingway is all I'm reading right now... And then I came across this... Way to go, Hem.

To all the women in my tribe...

Hello my friends! I'm off on vacation, returning mid-August. Have a peaceful, joyous several weeks. Meditate, run, play, go see a movie by yourself, sing, take a long meandering walk no where, enjoy being alone, and enjoy being with loving people. Hasta pronto!

Need to jump ship?!

Amen!

This is an important thing to remember. Keeping good boundaries is an act of self-love. You cannot let everyone in. When you like yourself and respect yourself, you need to protect yourself by keeping some people OUT.

Emptiness...

Had to share...something to think about as it relates to Love Addiction.

Yup!

Get in touch with who you are...

they won't tolerate these things from others OR themselves.

My mother's wise advice.

I really like this, and yet we need to be careful about the "giving to others" part. In love addiction we can often trick ourselves into believing we are simply "giving to others" because we love and we are "full." And yet, the reality is, we are giving to get something back to fill ourselves. We are giving out of fear and codependence. How do you know if you are giving freely of yourself in true love? You typically want nothing in return. Another word of caution: if you are in a relationship where you are giving and caring and not receiving anything in return, this too could be attachment, not love. True love recognizes that there is equality in healthy relationships :)

No truer words...

For anyone who keeps forgetting...

Look for a partner who Does this, Not that; #love, #romance, #dating

Ouch.

OK Folks, this gave me shivers. It really addressed what I am going through now in my life (with my son) but I think it may deeply resonate with love and addiction. <3

Got it? ;)
